Real Families: Dr. Tanya Byron's Impactful Family Therapy Session

[@KAP1984]

Cairo is an amazing older brother and such a treasure for not only his Mother but as a role model to his young brothers. Best of everything to all families

[@Lisa.G412]

I know right, he went right in and got them boys to go to sleep

[@Disableddawn]

Tanya Byron is a national treasure. The UK is lucky to have her. I wish I could have one conversation with her just to pick her incredible brain.

[@donnadee1966]

Once again, I am amazed by the transformative powers of the right kind of guidance and tools. What these families have achieved is tremendous. Lisa's commitment to change her own behavior for those three beautiful little boys showed such strength! I was rooting for her all week!

[@teresahunt5521]

Me too! Her older boy is such a good big brother. I was a middle child as well. We often fade into the background while trying to keep the ship afloat.

[@shez5964]

I hope when Max starts school he gets an experienced teacher who'll know exactly how to deal with his behaviour. A recently graduated teacher won't do for a child like this. He will probably be on the receiving end of some hurtful comments from his peers if he doesn't toughen up. Sad but true.

[@marylyn66]

You're so right. And I saw Tina take short cuts like spoon feeding some of her rice to Max while dad was in the kitchen so Max could get his yogurt and accepting Max moving carrots to dad's plate when that had already been accomplished. Even dad suggested that wasn't good enough. That last time out Max did not acknowledge that he wanted to go paint and Tina carried him out when she had been advised not to do that, to take his hand and walk instead. So hopefully when they arrived home where there's no cameras the crown didn't go back on Max's head.

[@normaburress2327]

They will probably keep him home and home school him that Mom is not going to let him out of her sight

[@lessehead]

I’m a 30 yr teacher, and I have seen many amazingly effective new teachers and some not as good, just phoning it in older ones. Age and experience don’t mean as much as you think. Some people are born to be teachers.

[@KonDragon008]

I love seeing how the community in the house works and that the other parents help out the kids with eating problems.

[@millylee1793]

I love this show, please post more, i wish there was a update on how these families turned out in the future

[@marylyn66]

Poor Tanya in her meeting with Lisa is speaking like the fast forward is on 1X so she can express what she has to before the "yeah", "uh huh" and "I knows" which can be every second from Lisa. I expect a few friends and family will tease Lisa when she returns home about it.

[@maburg713]

I am proud of them all, but I am MOST proud of LISA!! She has just grown and opened herself up, and been like a little sponge, absorbing every last bit of knowledge and help, and just WOW! God bless them all, they are really lovely people. And I wish them all the best!💜🦋🌻

[@marylyn66]

Ya Lisa gets a lot of comments not so positive but she has high strung little boys, she does realize how precious her older son is and she wants to make it work. She's a smart lady and I believe she likely had much success after she left the house.

[@kathleenpapaleo2720]

I like Lisa's progress

[@laurenS94]

Max continues to ask to go home and asks for his mom and dad back... I think he knows that when he gets home things will go back to normal. I don't feel much has changed at all with max.

[@laurapotter7251]

Max should have been put in the room alone, come on out when you can act like you have some sense, that's absolutely ridiculous! Mom and dad caused it all!

[@normaburress2327]

I agree I think as soon as they got home Max was able to be in charge again because moms not gonna change so sad he was just a spoiled rotten child and moms to blame I hope she is proud of herself

[@kathleenpapaleo2720]

​@@normaburress2327Max's Mom has destroyed him.

[@leonardascorpius5304]

High schools and colleges of all types should have mandatory classes on basic human psychology and related topics/resources, and proper nutritional knowledge for men, women and children. If anyone ever says that raising children is easy, they should watch this series!! It's never easy!! But very rewarding in so many ways.

[@kimberlygross7268]

The little boy that never heard no parents clearly haven’t learned that much cause he should have had to sit there with his dad and the little boy cause being taken away and distracted by his mom cause they didn’t want to tell him no and make him deal with not getting his way about turning the pages.

[@normaburress2327]

Yep Mom is not going to change in can be sure when they got him he was able to get his way again .that's why he kept saying he wanted to go home Mom will continue to baby him and let him do whatever he wants .

[@annamariaagatha9392]

Such brave parents, all of them! And such adorable kids, all of them!

[@Lisa.G412]

I wish they did a check in video of the family's she had for the week. Like a 20 min update in their own homes.

[@DizzKola3]

I wonder how old Giles is? He’s mentioned several times that he felt too young to have kids when Alyssa was born… he doesn’t seem too young.

[@caitlindavis8167]

he’s in his 50’s now and alyssa is now in her 20’s they’ve come so far since this i’m a close family friend

[@annierotberg8861]

oooof max...... his scream would send me to the moon

[@jappyhoy]

is anybody gonna mention how she nags and micro manages giles. oh my!!!

[@frankiecarrel1369]

I enjoy seeing the end of this one I've watched it many times but never could follow it all the way through I enjoy your videos a lot

[@stormiegiddens7054]

Just so you know you cannot hear her when she's telling us why a certain kid is there you have the other people talking to and you can't hear her

[@kimberlygross7268]

Then after his timeout she said no to picking him up and asked if he wanted a cuddle so she could pick him up n carry him that lil boy isn’t learning a damn thing

[@marylyn66]

Each episode I busted Tina doing little things like spoon feeding Max rice while daddy was in the kichen day 4 so he could have his yogurt. I also saw her being somewhat resentful of Tanya's instructions with regards Max throughout the week because she's not very poker faced.

[@rturney6376]

Thank you!! I love 💗 this show!!

[@mareekatz]

Keep these episodes coming!!! Love this show ❤ 💕 😍

[@kimberlygross7268]

I swear I can’t stand the little boys mother she still is not wanting him to hear no or punish him for anything. He hit the little boy when they were chasing each other and the boy dragged him to the ground and he got up and kicked and hit the lil boy and instead of punishing him she picked him up and seemed mad at the other little boy. It’s so annoying I could definitely go without her in this season.

[@superdupersnowflake]

For sure she spoils that brat

[@verasmith4767]

A total brat. His mother wants him to stay a baby.

[@teresatv9209]

Oh Max, I would go mad with him screaming and whining. I just want to shout at his parents to be tougher at the start of tantrums. Also stop carrying him around, he is a boy not a baby.

[@kathleenpapaleo2720]

They want to keep him a baby. At least Mom does. He is way too afraid of everything. And the tant

[@fireheartandsapphire]

I have Asperger's and i write children's books. I can 100% see that Max's "tantrum" 22:38 with the paint wasn't a tantrum at all - it was a sensory meltdown that was triggered by sensory defensiveness by rough handling + the clothes were a specific material - a sensory meltdown is an autism & asperger's reaction to sensory overload which feels incredibly excruciating to a person, and then he had a sensory meltdown after that happened.

[@normaburress2327]

Why did she carry max back when she is suppose to let him walk .when he said he was tired she looked up at the camera .she would have hugged and babied him they were not there then she gets in the hall and said do you want a cuddle not sure this mom I's gonna change when she gets home

[@robertamiller1088]

They seem to be eating feelings when they get stressed out. Discipline is really needed in all aspects in this family

[@marylyn66]

Attagirl Roberta! You are so right. When a child misbehaves, it's the parents responsibility to correct the inappropriate behavior. Picking that child up and pacifying him or her while giving into every whiny demand is not how its done.

[@superdupersnowflake]

Yea absolutely pathetic with the discipline

[@erical6338]

Could Max have sensory issues, maybe? Someone thought he seemed autistic, because of how rigid he was on the show and the mess thing. The mess aversion makes me wonder about sensory issues myself. I wonder how she'd deal with a kid who's autistic or afraid of the dark. I know someone who's not a kid and afraid of the dark.

[@superdupersnowflake]

You know what I realize , if they don’t fix their kids temper tantrums and their selfishness , once they get to school they will be bullied, made fun of and ignored . No kids will like them . So it’s better they learn now . I remember in school annoying g kids that cried and whined were always made fun of . It’s unfortunate but it’s life . Better your kid acts normal and has a good life .

[@rollo9428]

Think it is so much and noisy music in the program

[@xeniajola]

Just without overall ... you have to be messy. That is the fun

[@garysinclair4898]

I love this show wish the best of luck

[@jappyhoy]

gosh. yea uh huh yea i know. 🤦‍♀️ she can’t hear her if she’s too busy talking.

[@Greeneyedowl13]

Sadly, the Bailey boys and their Mum will slip right back into their chaotic and violent routine. Those boys have been raised like a pack of wild animas and mum has no patience to change. Little Max did not disappoint this episode. He continued his shrill squawking reminding the house mates and us that he is still in control of mum and dad. He’s going to be 12 years old kissing carrots from his school lunch in front of his peers.

[@marylyn66]

I hope Max still isn't kissing carrots when he's 12. When the main issue is the parents mollycoddle the child on every level, they cannot undo the bad habits and behavior their child exhibits because they are completely incapable of seeing the harm they've caused. Max will likely be a picky eater but once in school hopefully he will try foods other children are eating. School - this is where I see little Max having problems. He didn't appear to get on well with other children. His behavior over looking at a book or even the Yes and No exchange with one of the twins at the dining table, anything where he isn't getting his way and his favorite form of communication starts. Whine whine whine with mom & dad looking at him with that Oh isn't he just darling expression. Yup mollycoddled.

[@nb-user25]

Lisa was too busy saying “yeah” “ok” “uh huh” and just nodding along instead of actually taking in the information. She’ll continue to wonder why her twins are acting up all the time.

[@jlnioannou]

"Kissing carrots" 😂😂

[@melanytodd2929]

Could Max be on the spectrum?

[@ThoseHappyHips]

@@nb-user25 Funny how people don't seem to complain when a white mom does the same thing.

[@signwithwilfred5689]

We need the episode with the little girl,who is deaf as I want to see that episode please

[@robertamiller1088]

In looking at most of these behaviors in children, I've seen many of mothers are extremely overweight. Women who have their own personal problems will always have behavior problems not handling their children. They need to work on what is deeply seated in their own lives

[@leonardascorpius5304]

I've noticed this in many families. The child who's got eating disorders or pickiness usually have parents--moms especially, with weight problems.

[@babesmagee1]

Funny how the clinical psychologist didn't seem to think that weight was an issue 🙄

[@jappyhoy]

not always the case. weight isn’t always associated with trauma. most of the people on this show aren’t overweight either so…

[@annierotberg8861]

this is prob none of my business, but i wonder what Giles iq is?

[@jennifercroskey]

15:00 yeah yeah yeah ...why do British ppl say yeah so damn much??? Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah.... I'm beyond annoyed!

[@littlelizzi3135]

Yeah yeah yeah, I know 🤣🤣🤣

[@rkr5106]

Just finished this week's episodes - and --- Oh NO!! Repeat families from last month coming next week... SOOOoo disappointed!

[@jappyhoy]

they had families coming in a second time??? i though i’ve seen every episode. what family returned?

[@SamuelMiller-qf7qi]

Max is hands down the worst Judi feel for those parents. He cries way too much and way to often about everything. School is going to be tough on him

[@CARMEN-cp2vg]

Cool 😎

[@jappyhoy]

nag nag nag liz. stop omg. it’s so annoying.

[@kathleenpapaleo2720]

Max is very much in need of testing. His motgee has made a mess of his childhood v

[@sandracook7802]

I don't think the twins are any better, they're wild animals. I think Lisa sent the older boy to put them to sleep he isn't smart enough to do it on his own?

[@xeniajola]

I think the mom and dad of max didnt learn anything... they are going to do the old things when they are at home ... Max is a bratt and mom thinks he is her baby forever... They are not going to change. And will spoonfeed him again with yogurt... I really really really dislike max he is so controling and not because he gas a disability but because he is a bratt... And mom yuk.. The mom and dad of the girl... they had some difficult things in life and projected theyre feelings on to her (not on purpose) I really hope the progress will go better and better. she is a nice girl... and deserve her parents They need counseling alot and need help to learn things... The momof te 4 kids she is brave. Yes she was negatif at the beginning. That was because she was mentally and phycally tired... Now she have new energy and sees that how she behaves and reactes is how they behave...

[@verasmith4767]

My Granddaughter was talking a circle around Max when they were the same age. He whines like a baby. Good luck in school kid . Max needs to be more verbal.
